Bar Cafezinho owes its existence to it’s owner’s love of Brazilian music; Samba, Bossa Nova and Pagode. A cafe during the day and a bar come evening, Bar Cafezinho’s strongest point is the cheap cheap menu. You can get good, strong, Brazilian coffee at only ￥２００ a cup and the whisky here is also remarkably cheap at roughly half the price you’ll find elsewhere. Here’s my lunch; a vegetarian coconut curry (spicy! spicy!) for ￥５５０ and Cafe Com Leite at ￥２００:

There’s no table service here, so order your meal at the counter and remember to return your dishes when you have finished. Bar Cafezinho is open from 9:00 am ~ 22:00 pm. On Saturdays they have a Samba jam session that anyone can join from 17:00 pm. To find it walk west of Shimogamo Hondori on Kitaoji Dori and watch out for a Brazilian flag on your left. It’s right opposite the great big red “Lucky” pachinko monstrosity on the north side of the road. Tel: 075 712 5477
